I normally like his videos but this is not how you smoke good snowcrabs. You first do a half boil in butter,water and your seasonings to infuse flavor. Then you put them on the grill at a low temp and cook slow with your favorite wood to add smoke flavor. Use your leftover seasoning broth and dip crabs in it every 10 minutes until your desired smoke level is achieved. If you want them super flavourful. Break legs up off body in the beginning and when you put them on grill use a pan with holes in it. Come on bro I thought you knew better, we know those crabs had no flavor.

I know this is weird but I asked Chatser AI about basting the crab shells. Here is it’s answer: “As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience with cooking, but as per my knowledge, the basting of butter and lemon juice can penetrate the shells of snow crabs to some extent, but the degree of penetration may vary depending on the thickness and hardness of the shell. However, most of the flavor and moisture will be absorbed by the meat inside the shell. It is essential to baste the crab frequently while cooking to enhance the flavor and ensure even cooking.”!

Of course those will be good. But I swear, so few people understand that nothing will actually penetrate through the exterior of most crustaceans/shellfish. Skip the butter part and save money.

If you don't the smoker will dry out your crab legs and the meat will dry inside, the fat keeps the shell hydrated and heat the shell to steam the meat inside. Might as well add some flavor while at it instead of plain oil. Cracking the shell is a horrible idea, all the steam will escape and your crab meat will be dry asf.
